Sith Quotes

“Honor is a fool's prize. Glory is of no use to the dead.”
― Drew Karpyshyn, Path of Destruction

“This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker, forever:
The first dawn of light in your universe brings pain.
The light burns you. It will always burn you. Part of you will always lie upon black glass sand beside a lake of fire while flames chew upon your flesh.
You can hear yourself breathing. It comes hard, and harsh, and it scrapes nerves already raw, but you cannot stop it. You can never stop it. You cannot even slow it down.
You don’t even have lungs anymore. Mechanisms hardwired into your chest breathe for you. They will pump oxygen into your bloodstream forever.
Lord Vader? Lord Vader, can you hear me?”
― Matthew Woodring Stover, Star Wars, Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

“Equality is a myth to protect the weak. some of us are strong in the Force, others are not. Only a fool believes otherwise.”
― Drew Karpyshyn, Path of Destruction

“When you finally betray me, I hope you care enough to try to kill my yourself.”
― Drew Karpyshyn, Path of Destruction

“Evil is a word used by the ignorant and the weak. The Dark Side is about survival. It's about unleashing your inner power. It glorifies the strength of the individual.”
― Drew Karpyshyn, Rule of Two

“The dark side is emotion, Bane. Anger, hate, love, lust. These are what make us strong, Peace is a lie. There is only passion. Your passion is still there, Bane. Seek it out. Reclaim it.”
― Drew Karpyshyn, Path of Destruction

“My life ends only when my rage has been vented, when my need for vengeance is satisfied. It will be a long life.”
― Cullen Bunn, Star Wars: Darth Maul

“The snow wasn't deep - in many places its crust was firm enough that they actually walked on top of it - but the wind was surgical, a precision instrument with needles for teeth, and it found even the tiniest exposed places on her skin, attacking them.”
― Joe Schreiber, Star Wars: Red Harvest

“And you rage and scream and reach through the Force to crush the shadow who has destroyed you, but you are so far less now than what you were, you are more than half machine, you are like a painter gone blind, a composer gone deaf, you can remember where the power was but the power you can touch is only a memory, and so with all your world-destroying fury it is only droids around you that implode, and equipment, and the table on which you were strapped shatters, and in the end, you cannot touch the shadow. In the end, you don't even want to.”
― Mathew Stover

“...Des felt a familiar feeling in the pit of his stomach. All soldiers felt the same thing going into battle, whether they admitted it or not: fear. Fear of failure, fear of dying, fear of watching their friends die, fear of being wounded and living out the rest of their days crippled or maimed. The fear was always there, and it would devour you if you let it.

Des knew how to turn that fear to his own advantage. Take what makes you weak and turn it into something that makes you strong. Transform the fear into anger and hate: hatred of the enemy; hatred of the Republic and the Jedi. The hate gave him strength, and the strength brought him victory.

For Des the transformation came easily once the fighting started. Thanks to his abusive father, he'd been turning fear into anger and hate ever since he was a child. Maybe that was why he was such a good soldier. Maybe that was why the others looked to him for leadership.”
― Drew Karpyshyn, Path of Destruction

“The Sith were the sworn enemies of the Jedi and the Republic. They sought to wipe us from existence; they sought to rule the galaxy. (...) A Dark Jedi, on the other hand, has much smaller ambitions. He -or she- thinks only of himself. He acts alone. The ultimate goal is not galactic conquest, but personal wealth and importance. Like a common thug or criminal, he revels in cruelty and selfishness. He preys upon the weak and vulnerable, spreading misery and suffering wherever he goes.”
― Drew Karpyshyn, Dynasty of Evil

“It is necessary to lie to achieve anything of value. And a skilled liar is nearly impossible to detect.”
― Daniel Wallace

“My name is not Des,” he said, his voice rising as he stood up to his full height so that he towered over Lucia. “I am Darth Bane, Dark Lord of the Sith. I feel neither pity nor gratitude nor remorse. And Caleb’s daughter must pay for what she did to me.”
― Drew Karpyshyn

“We are, all of us, always being tested, my friend. Tests make us stronger, and strength is power, and power is the point. We must pass all the tests we face… Or die in the effort.”
― Paul S. Kemp, Lords of the Sith

“The Force is a trap. It calls us with dreams of power or skill or just being able to change things. It’s the same, light or dark.
But it chews us up, uses us for its purposes, whatever bizarre cosmic goals it’s trying to achieve and tells us it’s destiny.
We aren’t people to it. We’re just tools. Tools named Jedi and Sith.”
― Charles Soule, Star Wars, Vol. 1: The Destiny Path

“We are not your Sith. We are something new, a chance to do something right. A new tribe." ―Seelah Korsin”
― John Jackson Miller

“All soldiers felt the same thing going into battle, whether they admitted it or not: fear. Fear of failure, fear of dying, fear of watching their friends die, fear of being wounded and living out the rest of their days crippled or maimed. The fear was always there, and it would devour you if you let it.

“Brazen and shameless, and at their own mortal peril, they had waged etheric war, anticipating that their own midi-chlorians, the Force’s proxy army, might marshal to boil their blood or stop the beating of their hearts. Risen out of themselves, discorporate and as a single entity, they had brought the power of their will to bear, asserting their sovereignty over the Force. No counterforce had risen against them. In what amounted to a state of rapture they knew that the Force had yielded, as if some deity had been tipped from its throne. On the fulcrum they had fashioned, the light side had dipped and the dark side had ascended.”
― James Luceno, Star Wars: Darth Plagueis

“Is a stronger Force user’s lightsaber stronger, too? What happens when two Jedi fight each other?”
“The blade isn’t stronger. Only the Force user’s ability to wield it,” Obi-Wan said. “In ceremonial combat, of course, we’re displaying forms more than actually testing strength—”
“But what about non-ceremonial combat?” Fanry persisted. “When two Jedi are on opposite sides of a conflict. What happens?”
“It… it doesn’t happen.” The idea made so little sense that Obi-Wan could hardly parse it. “We are members of one Order. We serve the Jedi Council and, through the Council, the Republic. The Jedi are united in this way.”
“Well, that’s boring.” Scowling, Fanry kicked her little feet beneath her throne. “And nobody but the Jedi ever uses lightsabers? You’d never fight anyone else who had one? For real, I mean. Not ‘ceremonially.’ ”
“The ancient Sith used lightsabers,” Obi-Wan said. “But they’ve been extinct for a millennium. So, no. A Jedi just wouldn’t be involved in a lightsaber duel to the death. It couldn’t happen.”
Fanry seemed to realize she was being a bit bloodthirsty, because she smiled impishly and made the next question a joke. “Never?”
He smiled back as he shook his head. “Not ever.”
― Claudia Gray, Master and Apprentice

“It feels so strange, being here, at this place and in this circumstance. Years ago, we removed one child from Tatooine, thinking him to be the galaxy’s greatest hope. Now I have returned one – with the same goal in mind. I hope it goes better this time. Because the path to this moment has been filled with pain. For the whole galaxy, for my friends – and for me.
I still can’t believe the Jedi Order is gone – and the Republic, corrupted and in the hands of Palpatine. And Anakin, corrupted as well. The holovids I saw of him slaughtering the Jedi younglings in the Temple still haunt my dreams... and shatter my heart into pieces, over and over again.
But after the horror of children’s deaths, a child may bring hope, as well. It's as I said: the delivery is made. I’m standing on a ridge with my riding beast – a Tatooine eopie – looking back at the Lars homestead. Owen and Beru Lars are outside, holding the child. The last chapter is finished: a new one has begun.”
― John Jackson Miller, Kenobi: Star Wars (New)

“He was testing her, patronizing her.
He thought she was lesser.
He thought she would lose.
She would prove him wrong.”
― Delilah S. Dawson, Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade

“That’s what the dark side did to you, after all. Made you doubt. Made you nervous. Made you question everything you believed in, whether you wanted to or not.
It was called the dark side for a reason.”
― Sam Maggs, Jedi: Battle Scars

“He cast a questioning look at Sidious. "Do you see the grand error of their ways? They execute the Republic's business as if it were the business of the Force! But has a political body ever succeeded in being the arbiter of what is right and just? How easy it is for them to bask in self-assurance in their castle on Coruscant. But in so doing, they have rendered themselves ill equipped for the world we have spent a millennium bringing into being." He cleared his throat.
"We're going to back them into a contradiction, Darth Sidious. We're going to force them to confront the moral quandary of their position, and reveal their flaws by requiring them to oversee the conflicts that plague their vaunted Republic.”
― James Luceno, Star Wars: Darth Plagueis

“The past is a ghost that haunts us. Ghosts must banished. Lingering on the past is weakness, Lord Vader.”
― Paul S Kemp

“Sidious sabe que la ley no es más que una herramienta disponible para cualquiera que tenga la sabiduría de saber que no existe justicia sin poder, y que un poder suficiente puede hacer que cualquier cosa sea justa”
― Jason T. Eberl, The Ultimate Star Wars and Philosophy: You Must Unlearn What You Have Learned

“Swinging his legs to build momentum, he launched himself up over the railing and onto the balcony, giving him the advantage of higher ground.”
― Drew Karpyshyn, Dynasty of Evil

“Let the Force guide you. Let it flow through you as it flows through me. Use that power, and your instincts, for they are one and the same.”
― Adam Christopher, Shadow of the Sith

“What are you?” Kaeden asked, surprised she had any voice at all.
“I am the future,” the gray creature said. “And the only reason you are alive is because I need you to make my future come to pass.”
― E.K. Johnston, Ahsoka
